Chapter 480 Light Armor A1 Press Conference

The civil service examination for China held by Funan and Tangming is very popular on the Internet, but the actual number of people who sign up is far less than the online popularity.

It’s just like before the Spring Festival, The Legend of the Condor Heroes dominated all major social media platforms, but after its official release, the box office has been lying flat on the ground.

In fact, as China rebuilds its confidence in the future and the technology becomes increasingly practical, China will quickly become a true pole, and the only pole.

In the past, the Chinese and the Chinese people have provided consumption funds to low-income people through the national welfare system, proving that they will share the dividends of development with the grassroots people.

Combining the two factors, very few people would make the decision to go to Funan and Tangming to work as civil servants.

Very few are willing to take a gamble.

This is just like not staying in America in the 80s and going to Mexico to do business.

Although you may be able to make money in the short term, the assets of your relatives in America will automatically increase with the appreciation of the US dollar. If you go to Mexico to work hard for twenty years, your final surplus may not be as much as the house you sold in America.

Almost all young people in China have received a complete basic education oriented towards materialism. Combined with thousands of years of tradition, they are very good at calculating.

Everyone can understand that the civil servants of Funan and Tangming are useless, and for many people, they are not even useless.

Young Chinese people who meet the registration requirements for the Funan and Tangming civil service examinations are not very interested because they all know that China is on the eve of explosive growth.

The old Dengs who want to run away do not meet the requirements.

Therefore, in the end, these two places each recruited 100 civil servants, but only more than 500 people signed up, and the application ratio was less than 3 to 1.

Most of the people who went there were young people from southern Yunnan Province, and everyone wanted to stay close to home.

When September came, Guangjia Automobile held a product launch conference in Shenhai, which was also its first product launch conference in three years.

The atmosphere at this press conference was very warm.

At the Mercedes-Benz Center, there are only 5,000 tickets in total, and more than 10 million people have applied for reservations online, with a reservation success rate of less than 5/10,000.

Netizens jokingly called it the Light God Handshake Meeting.

But unfortunately, Chen Yuanguang will not attend the launch of the Guangjia Automobile at all.

After all, there were too many people coming. There were about 5,000 spectators, and with the addition of media reporters, industry experts, industry executives and officials from all parties, the total number was estimated to be close to 7,000.

For safety reasons alone, the relevant parties will try their best to persuade Chen Yuanguang not to attend.

In the center of the stage of the Mercedes-Benz Center, the logo of the Light Armor Car was displayed on a huge screen.

Right in front of the LOGO is a mysterious object covered with cloth.

“Have you heard? It is said to be different from the promotional video.”

“I’ve also heard that the design team was poached from BMW, and the design director posted several incredible tweets.

He said this was an unprecedented design.

If it’s the same as the trailer, how can it be unprecedented? “

“Why do I feel like if I make an appointment today, the delivery will start in January, and if I’m a little slow, I’ll have to wait at least half a year?”

“It’s highly likely that the God of Light’s appeal is too strong, and the public’s approval is too high. With the trend of controlled nuclear fusion, the wealthy group’s willingness to pay is extremely strong.”

“In addition to the traditional wealthy groups, the emerging wealthy class is more willing to pay. They are the direct vested interests of the God of Light.”

“In fact, the question everyone is asking now is how much of the market share that originally belonged to performance sports cars can be taken away, and whether Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche and other brands can still sell well in China.”

“Compared to this, I’m more curious about the price, can it be just one million?

If I were to go any higher, I would really hesitate.”

Bloggers who can run automobile self-media on Jianzhong Internet are very rich. Especially with the development of new energy in China, their income has also risen sharply.

A cash flow of one million is not even a big deal for them.

Moreover, for bloggers who run MCN companies, buying a car can also help avoid taxes.

Lin Jia walked onto the stage and her appearance immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience. Dressed in simple and elegant clothing, she smiled and waved to the audience, then waited for the applause to subside.

Lin Jia is full of confidence, just like she usually is when she appears in public, graceful and elegant, which also indicates that the upcoming products will bring disruptive innovation.

“Good evening, everyone. There are so many people here today. This is probably the most exciting press conference I have ever held.

I have spent most of my energy on this car in the past three years. Yuanguang even often complained to me that I didn’t care about him and only cared about the Guangjia car.”

There was laughter in the audience. It turned out that using Yuan Guang as the opening remark could quickly attract the attention of the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room.

“What I want to say is that it is the beginning of my entrepreneurship. What I want to do today is not just to launch a new car, but to establish a brand-new high-end car brand. I hope that a hundred years later, when humans move into the interstellar age, there will still be light armor cars to prove that Yuanguang and I once existed.

At the same time, the new car we launched this time can open up a new era of transportation.

It not only takes you through city streets, but also allows you to explore the vast ocean. It can switch freely between land and underwater, and it is both fully electric and completely sustainable.

I would like to introduce to you the Light Armor A1.

The A here stands for Amphibian, which means amphibian, representing its ability to be both on land and underwater.

The cloth covering the mysterious object was lifted, revealing a cool-looking vehicle to the audience.

The Light Armor A1 combines the designs of a sports car and a submarine. It has a streamlined body and, compared to the one in the promotional video, has retractable fins added to the body, which caused a burst of exclamations from the audience.

The fins come alive under the lighting effect of the lens, floating slowly up and down. They are called fins, but they feel more like bird feathers to the audience.

“Do you think the fins are just for decoration or do they have a function?”

“It must have a purpose. If it’s just for decoration, why make it so complicated?”

“It’s really cool. Just the deformation effect and the new fins make my wallet wail.” “I feel like the new fins alone will add at least $200,000 to the price of the car.”

“Two hundred thousand? About the same. It’s similar to the price of a Porsche with optional equipment.”

Lin Jia continued: “The Guangjia A1 is not only a car, but also an engineering marvel.

It is equipped with the world’s latest battery technology and has an underwater range of more than 300 nautical miles. But what really makes it special is its ability to transform.”

She pressed the remote control in her hand, and the A1 began to transform: the wheels retracted, the fins unfolded, and the body gradually changed into a streamlined shape more suitable for underwater driving. The audience watched this process intently, marveling at the exquisite technology.

“Compared to the trailer, the transformation function is much more powerful, thanks to our patented MorphTech system,” Lin Jia explained. “MorphTech uses advanced materials and actuators to change the vehicle’s shape in real time, just like having two cars at the same time.”

“More than that,” she added, “when traveling underwater, the A1 uses a unique propulsion system we call AquaDrive. AquaDrive combines electric thrusters with a water jet system, which is efficient, quiet, and environmentally friendly.

In addition, I would like to remind you that I know many netizens are saying that if they buy this car, they must replicate the route we took in the promotional video from Pingtan Island in southern Fujian to Baisha Cape in Taoyuan City.

Some netizens said that if you don’t do a holy land tour, you will be embarrassed to say that you bought a light armor car.

I would like to remind everyone that such behavior is dangerous and it is best not to try it.

In addition, when we were shooting the promotional video, we had a boat following us all the way. Even if you really want to tour, you have to wait until after the tour and find a boat to follow you to avoid accidents. “

Lin Jia paused for a moment and said, “We have chosen a name for this technology that reflects its capabilities and fits our vision for the future. We call it the Light Armor Qilin. In Chinese classical mythology, the Qilin is an amphibious beast. We hope that after consumers own the Light Armor A1, it will be like buying a Qilin home, galloping between land and sea.”

In order to demonstrate the performance of the Light Mech A1, Lin Jia played a demonstration video by the lake.

On the lakeside, a LightMech A1 is ready. In the video, Lin Jia himself drives the vehicle into the water, and the vehicle seamlessly transforms and dives underwater.

The images sent back by the vehicle’s camera were played on the big screen on site. The audience saw the Guangjia A1 amphibious vehicle flexibly moving underwater. The AquaDrive system pushed the vehicle forward, easily avoiding underwater obstacles and demonstrating excellent controllability.

A few minutes later, the vehicle emerged from the water, transformed back into land, and drove back to the shore. The audience burst into warm applause.

The reason why everyone applauded was that in the past promotional videos, we knew more about this thing being able to transform and cross the strait, but we didn’t see the details of how it transformed and how it was manipulated underwater.

And judging from this video, its deformation will be smoother than that in the promotional video.

“I feel that the Light Armor A1 must have used their new material, otherwise the entire transformation would not be so smooth.

Don’t you think so? The whole transformation is like a horse stretching its body while galloping. It’s hard to imagine that metal can be so smooth. ” The guests below were talking about it.

The media is talking about this, while other car company bosses are talking about something more specific:
“Boss Lei, I’ve asked the people at Light Armor Auto. This is the memory metal technology developed by Light Armor Aerospace. It’s not from a supplier, so you can’t buy it.”

“Is it possible to buy technology patent licenses from Guangjia Aerospace?”

“I’m afraid you’ll have to talk to the God of Light about this.”

“understood.”

After the discussion and applause from the audience subsided, Lin Jia continued on the stage:
“I believe everyone is curious about how the vehicle operates in both land and underwater environments, and may have doubts about its safety.

This was a huge engineering challenge. We planned from the outset to design a vehicle that could withstand the pressures underwater while remaining lightweight and efficient on land.

The reliability and speed of the deformation system are key issues.

After years of research and development, we are proud of the results we have achieved.

In addition to the deformation itself, we designed the AquaDrive system to be as environmentally friendly as possible. It does not use propellers to avoid harm to marine life, but instead uses a quiet water jet system to reduce disturbance to the underwater environment. We remain committed to sustainable development on land and in water.

The A1 is more than just a car, it symbolizes the infinite possibilities of technology and innovation. It gives us a glimpse into a future where transportation is no longer restricted to land or sea.

We believe that the A1 will change everyone’s perception of travel and exploration. Thank you for participating today, and we look forward to meeting you on the road and underwater.”

The entire press conference lasted about forty-five minutes.

What is missing is the issue that everyone is most concerned about, which is price.

The audience stood up and applauded, Lin Jia left the stage, and the Light Armor A1 shone brightly under the lights.

The audience in the audience was shouting out prices.

After Lin Jia arrived at the backstage, the big guys who had been waiting there in advance were also concerned about the price.

“Junior sister, you have taught us a good lesson. Our Xiaomi Auto technical team has not figured out how to build the entire underwater driving system and how to make the deformation so smooth until today.

Later we had no choice but to give up. After all, there is still a big gap between our technical reserves and those of the light armor companies. This time you actually gave us some new surprises.

When I was in the audience just now, I was paying attention to the Guangjia Auto App on my phone, waiting to be one of the first prospective car owners to pay a deposit, fearing that if I was one minute late, I would have to wait a month to pick up the car. “Lei Jun and Lin Jia had been colleagues for a while, and they were very familiar with each other when they talked, even though they hadn’t seen each other for more than half a year.

Xiaomi Auto has really thought about whether it can transform into both land and water.

The main reason is that there have been failed cases before. Tesla previously launched a transforming car, but it transformed into a human form. Xiaomi also followed suit, but the price was 70% of Tesla’s.

In the end, few people paid the bill.

Therefore, after the amphibious light armor car came out, they first studied it and found that the cost was too high. It would have to be sold for at least 800,000 yuan. Considering the possibility of a collision with the light armor car, the entire car might not be able to beat the other one, so they chose to give up.

But it sounded so natural when Lei Jun said it. On the surface, he was saying that we had thought about competing with you, but in fact he was praising your powerful technology.

“Brother, you are too polite. You don’t need to place an order in person. I will send you one after the car is mass-produced. Thank you for taking care of me in Xiaomi Auto before.

There have been so many things going on recently, otherwise I would have arranged it long ago.

There were so many things going on that I could have forgotten even this one.”

Lin Jia was not at a disadvantage at all.

“After you get the car, just say a few good words for us on Weibo and TikTok, that’s enough.”
